This week on the HappyCast, we are joined by some local Texas trail running enthusiasts who decided to venture outside of their comfort zone and take on some mountains - the Never Summer 100k, to be exact, which is one of the toughest mountain races around. Regina Massingill and Kathleen Hanley from Houston, and Kevin Halliburton from DFW join us to discuss their strategies for taking on this behemoth northern Colorado race. Combined, these three individuals have an average elevation of that of the top of a city parking garage to train with. So how did they prepare for this race? 

These three have some pretty epic stories from the race, as well as a literal last minute victory when all hoped seemed lost for one of these individuals. Stick around to hear the emotional recap of a beautiful DFL finish. What would you do when you had zero minutes to spare at an aid station? 

Congratulations to these three for an amazing race, and thank you to Gnar Runners for an unforgettable experience. And finally, congratulations to Kathleen’s husband, Jason Hanley of Wildsense Goods, on finishing Bigfoot 200!
